By Daniel Tyokua 

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory, malam Muhammad Bello has promised his administration commitment to complete ongoing  projects in the city.

He said the administration prioritize projects based on available funds and the need to provide quality infrastructure.

Bello stated this on Thursday when he conducted senate committee on FCT round some projects site in the territory.

The Minister who took the lawmakers through projects at Wuye, Ring Road 1 interchange at Kaura District, Southern Parkway, said the present Administration was able to achieve much success due to the smooth relationship between the FCTA and the National Assembly.

The Chairman Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Tolu Odebiyi accompanied by other lawmakers scored the Federal Capital Territory Administration high on the number of projects executed across the territory despite the paucity of funds allocated to sectors of the economy.

Odebiyi who expressed satisfaction on the level of completion of most of the projects visited, assured that the national assembly will prioritize any project that requires urgent attention.

“As you know, part of our responsibility is to provide oversight duties as part of other legislative duties and what we’ve seen today has been quite interesting. We believe that in the twilight of this administration which is about 10 months there about, it is important that we catalogue all the projects that has been done, prioritize the ones that must be completed before the end of this term so that we can make sure that we provide the adequate funding and budgets for such projects. The FCT budget is going to be forwarded to us soon and it’s important that we come and see the state of the work and their completion rate.

“We will make sure that any of the projects that requires priority is given the due attention so as to elevate and increase efficiency.”

Some of the projects visited include the Southern Parkway, Ring Road 1 interchange at Kaura District, ongoing Rehabilitation and expansion of the OSEX road, the B6/B12, ongoing renovation of the NASS complex.
